Chapter 195: Certain Rumor

Somewhere in the Dark Seas...

A massive flying octopus-like creature was peaking out of a large cloud that covered the entire skies.

A priority meeting was being held by the collaborative empire known as the Dark Shine Kingdom.

All the mighty Undead, the Vampires, the Skeletons, and Liches gathered to meet the mighty envoy that had arrived.

A beautiful woman sat at what used to be the throne of the nominated leader of the Dark Shine Kingdom.

This human-like creature had a sharp sickle-like tail and wings with a strange silk-like carapace where you could see the bones that made up these wings. Her beauty was one that affected the soul. Even those who have long abandoned their fleshly bodies to abandon all desires could not help but feel emotions they had long forgotten.

The only thing that stopped these creatures from giving in to their debase desires was the fact that they had great fear at this creature. 

The woman had one of the most terrifying race that all Dark-Dependent feared. This creature could do more than just devour the darkness, but she could eat the mysterious energies that would feed the great tree, Yggdrasil.

Sin and Unholy Elements were food for these creatures. And such monsters could eat up the soul of all who was Dark-Dependent. Her race was one of the few races who were naturally born Heretics, just like dragons. The dark race is known as the Grendelor.

"Our Queen... We greet you." The elite of the Dark Shine all bowed down.

"I am Lea Olethros. Daughter of Necron Olethros. King of the Netherlands." The woman revealed.

Everyone trembled as they heard this name.

Of all present, only one didn't show fear but revealed a look of confusion.

This man had pale-white skin and eyes that looked like fire burning.

"I see that the Xenos is not pleased to see me." The woman glanced towards the man.

All who were near the pale-white man took a step back.

"Mighty Princess of the Olethros... This humble one is Skerrov von Animo. I am just surprised that his Kingship Necron would send his very daughter here."

"The laughable stranger of this place dares to ask wisdom?" The woman mocked.

Skerrov did not answer.

"I wish to be enlightened. King Necron allowed us Eldrich to return to this world and fight so that the Rules of Engagement would not be overstepped."

"An important task requires this great one to go to the Lowlands. Is that enough of a reason, Eldrich?"

"Please bestow this mission on me, and I will pay great tribute through success to the King of the Netherlands."

"King of the Netherlands? Or of the Netherworld? Netherland, the capital city where my father resides, is not just the kingdom. This entire region, the Netherworld, is ours." The woman raised her eyebrows as she questioned the man.

The Eldrich gave a low bow.

"Forgive this insolent one. I used the name of long ago." Skerrov bowed.

"You really are an Eldrich. Arrogant and delusional. You hold to your former glory. Your words subtly imply the true name of the Netherworlds. You called this entire region the Netherlands, recalling the age when your kind ruled over and that there was only one land in the Nether 'lands'. But when the Light won, they destroyed this one land and even made the sea. And so the divided Nether 'lands' was called Netherworlds and only the capital city further down this Yggdrasil is called the Netherlands. Tell me, Eldrich, whose fault was it?" Lea mocked.

Skerrov could not control his temper, and he frowned and at Lea.

BANG!

A powerful force crushed down on the Eldrich as the woman raised her arms.

Skerrov was slowly sinking into the stone floor. The attack of Lea contained no special tricks or the usage of powerful magic. All the queen did was release her Force energy, and the heavy powers weighed down upon Skerrov.

All of the elites were startled at the strength.

"Level... Seventy! As expected of the daughter of Necron! At such a young age, she already possesses such power!" The nominal king of the Dark Shine Kingdom secretly assessed the power of Lea. This was a level that he could only dream of. He was only a level fifty powerhouse himself!

"So disrespectful. Thank the agreement that my father had with you exiled Xenos. Otherwise, I would have killed you! Now... For the matter at hand..." Lea turned to the rest.

"Elites of the Dark Shine Kingdom. I am here to ask for your assistance. You are the only Kingdom marshaling their force to invade the Lowlands. Is there a way to send me directly to that place?" Lea asked.

"My Queen, is there not a rule that limits certain races from ever entering the land?"

"I have an ability to create a living incarnation of myself that is a human being in order to go in that land. As such, these stupid rules that have been imposed on us when the stupid Eldirch lost can be bypassed. Of course, this incarnation will only hold a very small amount of my power. It will be sealed and will require me to cultivate. I will start off with the strength of a level thirty warrior according to the standards of the Lowlands. I believe that is already a position of great power there?"

"Yes, my Queen." There are very few Commanders in the Lowlands. They can be counted in one hand."

"That is good. I will ask your kingdom to send me in with your magic."

"Bone Lord Stiggma has the magic to perform direct transference. His forces have created a secret portal to many locations of the Lowlands." The King of the Dark Shine called the attention of the powerful Lich in his command.

"Oh? You must be the famous Bone Lord. I only have heard good things about you." The woman smiled.

The Bone Lord approached, and his bones were shaking noticeably.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Erm... It's his first time standing before your great form, my queen." The king gave an embarrassing answer.

"I am ready to serve you, my queen." Bone Lord Stiggma spoke nervously.

"Can you send a level thirty warrior?"

"Ye-Yes... I will succeed."

"Good. Now, as you know, Greater God Sheolrah appeared before my father. She gave orders to find a certain someone. Have you found him?" The queen turned towards the King of Dark Shine.

"No. We have heard of no rumors involving that man." The king answered.

"Erm... Forgive me, your Greatnesses. But..." A large, muscled, and good-looking human stood up.

"And you are...?"

"I am Necromancer Lorjdenheign, your Grace. And I have heard a certain rumor about that man..." Lorjdenheign spoke.

The king frowned. The information regarding Cracky Batcheeks was not cascaded down to these Elites. Yet the Necromancer Lorjdenheign spoke as if he knew about it.

Lea suddenly waved her hand, and powerful energy engulfed the entire room. But as the darkness spread, there was a strange area within the darkness, and only Lea, the King, and Lorjdenheign were present.

"Speak." Lea ordered.

"There have been reports that a powerful Vampire has appeared in the region of Airom. I was helping Vampire Zord Blood Blade. His son was killed by a vampire who goes by the name Cracky Batcheeks. And my worshipers tell me of a rumor spreading within the orc kingdoms about a powerful Coven, Called the Coven on Crack." 

"Interesting... What an odd name. But you say that it happened near the Airom region? What a coincidence!" Lea smiled as she recalled the details of the strange events her father sensed.

"The New Sword Path, the birth of the dragon, and even the escape of that Greater God called Daradiel... All of them happened on the western region of the Lowlands. Airom is at the west region... Could it be?" She pondered.
